Hello Bugzerz,

(Man I still really regret typing that... I'll get used to it eventually... I hope.) Bugz's next update is way closer than anyone was expecting, given that I released 0.8.0 just a week ago from tomorrow. So I'm here to announce that public testing is coming real soon, the beta will be here by 3/3/25, which will give me some much-needed time to confirm balance changes. Along with that date, 0.9.0 will be coming out on the Bugziversary 5/5/25. So mark your calendar, and start preparing for your party!

So what's 0.9.0

You may remember the last road map update labelled it as the "Kitchen update." However, that was just an internal name to avoid you guys asking about it! This way I could introduce this massive update at a point where its further along in a way that will hopefully get everyone excited! Although I'm not going to be announcing content in it quite yet, I can announce the name which should shed some light on its important features.

Stop rambling, what's it called?

Bugz 0.9.0 will be called... Drum roll please... Souls, Tolls, and Stories.

I'm a bit underwhelmed. What else can you show???

Here, take some complementary screenshots with some [strike]nondescript[/strike] content spoilers!
